A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

CHARACTER
Name: Aiden
Canon: Teen Wolf
Age: Unknown, probably late teens early twenties.
Timeline: Taken from the end of Season 3, episode Lunar Eclipse.

Personality: Aiden is a killer. No softening it, no lying. He will easily (and gleefully) kill whenever something or somebody is in his way. And not only that, but he'll threaten people close to his brother with death if he's really pissed off.

To get to why he's like this, we have to go back a little bit. Ethan and Aiden are twin Alpha werewolves. It has been stated that they were abused by their pack, and were Omegas, the lowest of the low in terms of the werewolf totem pole. The extent of this abuse has not been fully fleshed out yet, but Ethan referred to them as the pack's "Bitches" so it couldn't have been fun.

Deucalion, the leader of a pack of Alphas, approached Ethan and Aiden, to teach them how to control their powers, and how to steal the power of the Alpha for themselves. They murdered their entire pack, including the human/druid emissary, and went on their merry way. This instilled in Aiden a very twisted and deep sort of loyalty to Duecalion, and the Alpha pack. He admired Kali, and Ennis, and did everything he could to bring their pack power.

Then, Beacon Hills happened. He was assigned to check out one Lydia Martin, believing she was the key to getting at Scott McCall, who had the potential to be the True Alpha. (Basically Werewolf Jesus.) And then there was the small matter of an evil druid bent on killing all werewolves ever. So Aiden set about seducing Lydia, while his brother Ethan seduced one Danny Mahealani.

The only problem was, the twins both fell in love with the people they were supposed to be spying on.

Aiden, gruff and not very talkative, found himself really looking forward to his time spent with the fiery redhead. She became as important to him as his pack. It went from something purely physical to something much more complicated and deeper. This was incredibly frustrating for Aiden, who found himself torn between loyalties now. It wasn't until the very end, when the evil druid was destroyed, that Aiden allowed himself to finally confess all his feelings. Where he's going to go now, whether or not he'll be aiming for redemption, that remains to be seen.

He's very hot-headed, easy to trigger into a temper fit, and has a tendency to act first and think later. He's also incredibly loyal, and fiercely protective of people he considers important. He's willing to kill perhaps a bit too easily, but he'll have full justifications in his head for it the entire time. Preferring to let actions speak louder than words, he'll let a smirk tell an entire story with people he barely knows.

But when he's with his brother, he's a very different boy. He'll be playful, he'll banter, he'll even joke around. The only time he won't is if Ethan does something to piss him off. But even then, he might bluster and threaten but he won't follow through. And when he's with Lydia, he'll actually be tender, and follow her instructions. He has a strange sort of respect for her, and won't push her too far, or disobey her. (Frankly? He's totally pussywhipped for her, negl.)

Background: Wiki.

Abilities: Aiden is an Alpha wolf. In TW canon, this means he has the ability to control Betas and Omegas by sheer force of will. He's also stronger and faster than the average werewolf, and is implied to be in greater control of his transformations. The full moon affects him, but doesn't turn him into a mindless monster.

Since Aiden is also an Alpha Twin, he and his brother Ethan are capable of merging into one, giant, Hulk-like alpha wolf with exponentially greater strength. (Fandom is still on the fence about what happens to their genitalia.) This merging can happen any place, any time, but it's easier when the moon is full. He can also feel when his brother is in pain or been injured, and vice versa.

First Person:

[Aiden appears on his watch...device. Thing. Why the hell was it a pocket watch and not a cell phone? That would have made at least a little bit of sense. Grr. He feels really stupid talking into a pocket watch, and when Aiden feels stupid, bad things happen to innocent people.]

...I'm not a big talker. So I'll make this short, simple, and to the point. I'm looking for either Ethan or Deucalion. Ethan's pretty simple, he looks like me. Deucalion is a...guy, older, blond hair, has a thing for sunglasses? British accent.

If anybody sees either of them, or...Deucalion, Ethan, if you're listening. Call me. I just got here and I really don't get this place.

Third Person:

Aiden had never been on a train in his life. He'd never held a pocket watch. So when he found himself doing both, part of him wondered if this was some really specific and realistic wolfsbane hallucination. The subtle knocking rhythm of the train along the track was lulling him into a false sense of peace and security. And that was not. Good.

Clenching his jaw, he forced a little of the wolf into his eyes, making them turn bright red. And he could feel his fangs elongating in his mouth, ready to bite, to tear. If there had been another on the train with him, he very well might have taken them out, just because he could. He did not like being separated from his pack, and he especially did not like being separated from his twin, his other self.

In a cloud of smoke and steam, the train finally began to slow, and finally stop. His glaring out the window had answered nothing; just miles of anonymous, old-growth woods. And then...a city. An old-fashioned city, mostly crumbling, but with bright spots of activity. The sort of place a werewolf could curl up and lick his wounds, try to figure out what to do next.

But then...a miracle? Or a disaster. He could sense his brother somewhere nearby. What the actual fuck was going on?! The compulsion to seek his brother out, to get the hell off this train, was suddenly overwhelming. Fangs retracted, red leeched out of his eyes, and he was a normal-looking young man again, out to stalk this bizarre city. And if anybody had done anything to hurt his brother, he would personally remove the spines, by hand, of the ones who did it.
